Wow, the REI AntiFreeze down jacket for just $99 looks like a good but cheap emergency puffy for winter 14er climbing.

Funny you mentioned that...just got home with my new size XL. 700 fill down, zip-off hood, windproof to 50 mph, compressible into included stuff sack...yeah great deal for $99. I would have ordered online but wanted to double check which size to get. Also picked up a nice REI fleece jacket for my son for $19.

I think everyone was at Best Buy, WalMart or the mall. There are much bigger crowds at REI for their garage sales than what I came across this morning. Pleasant surprise for sure. I was in and out in 15 minutes.
